For me there is a difference between matt/gloss finish like in the Witcher 3 and these vague color variations. For both I see no reason to delete them from the database though, why would we? The more info we have the better, just give them a distinction like smaller font size or italic with a small note.

To prevent mass discussions from users about color variations in the future maybe its an idea to announce that when somebody has 2 physical copies from different regions and spots a difference a short post (without proof) is enough and a note can be added to the database.
The reason we are saying these should be deleted is because if we keep tracking the color variations explicitly, going forward we are going to end up putting most of the steelbooks on the list twice. The list will grow exponentially and will become very difficult to navigate and maintain. In my opinion the list stops making sense if in a few years there are 10,000 entries and 5,000 of them are dublicates.

There is a different thread for this discussion if you want to join in on that. I think the consensus so far is to put a disclaimer at the top saying there may be slight differences in shade
